Meat processing wastewater Phycoremediation by Botryococcus sp.: a biokinetic study and a techno-economic analysis

The current study was carried out to investigate the biokinetic model of Botryococcus sp. in removing NH4+ and PO43- from meat processing wastewater. The removal efficiency of NH4+ ranged from 89.74% to 99.03% and from 92.39% to 99.93% for PO43-. The biokinetic coefficients of NH4+ were k = 1.72 mg NH4+ mg−1 chl a d−1 and Km = 52.29 mgL−1. The biokinetic coefficients of PO43- were as follows; k = 1.13 mg PO43- mg−1 chl a d−1 and Km= 44.45 mg/L....
